I ate a few mints yesterday before an interview.

Hey! I completed the 10 day challenge no problem! I accidentally drank 2 sips of lemonade before remembering my challenge. BUT I didn't eat ANY candy, cookies, or anything sweet at all. It hasn't been that hard, so I will continue.

Day 6 - Tonight is my weekly girls' potluck. Must.limit.wine. No dessert of any kind. I'm bringing kombucha, which is ironically made with sugar. I think the SCOBY eats all the sugar.

Sugar is so pervasive in our supermarkets!! I applaud each of you for posting your struggles. I mysteriously gained 40 lbs this year. None of my nice clothes fit. I had to buy a few things so that I wasn't wearing clothes that made me feel so uncomfortable. When I lost 30 lbs on WW I ate so much crap food: fake cheese,…

Today, day 5 of my 10 day challenge: I am doing well. Absolutely no overt processed sugar/treats in spite of the cookies, toffee, etc. in the house. When we went shopping yesterday we bought ZERO of the usual sugar treats that we usually get for the non-dieters. If they need cookies I'll make them The Detoxinista's peanut…

I love the EM2WL philosophy and am finally back in the gym. Because of my hurt left hip, I am only walking @ 2.5 mph for an hour (I'm not working so I'm not very active at home). Soon I plan to start with weights.

Day 2: I am going to use the chocolate protein powder despite the 2 g of added sugar and here's why -- I am not working right now, so I can't afford more protein powder; it's only 2 g so I'm compromising. Today I was mildly tempted by caramels we were given for Xmas. I will give them away or throw them in the freezer where…

One day at a time and don't give up. That's basically my advice for everything.

I lost 28 lbs on WW a few years back eating fake cheese, low-fat carbs and other junk. I refuse to eat non-food ever again. I'm just hitting perimenopause and put back on 18# over the past year. If I even THINK the word "diet" I binge , so it's important for me to eat. Also, I have injured myself in the past by over-doing…

Is no one doing this anymore? Why no further posts??

Won my FitBit Flex in October. https://www.fitbit.com/user/2XPXCL Just sent invites to everyone with a link... I'll join challenges, but don't know how to set them up yet...

www.fitbit.com/user/2XPXCL I won my FitBit during the October 2014 Drive Less Challenge in the Eugene & Springfield, Oregon area!! I absolutely LOVE it! Finally I'm getting credit for getting up & moving.

I like the 80/20 approach to eating. I also have gotten into the habit of making most of my meals at home, lots of produce, as much organic as I can afford (following the "Dirty Dozen"), getting 2 - 4 oz. of protein with every meal and cutting way back on grains. Definitely not Paleo, but Paleo-ish. But I also LOVE chips &…

Hi! I'm Penny, 50 years of age. I lost 28# on weight watchers and maintained for several years. With perimenopause, I am on zoloft and have re-gained 20 :-( I am back on myfitnesspal and am committed to keeping under calorie goal, reaching exercise goal and eating healthy, nutritious foods. When I did WW I ate fake foods…

I'm glad I decided to not chuck the way of eating when the loss slowed!! Must say, I feel smaller, not bloated anymore...so even if it's a slower loss it's worth it for me. My cravings have passed...with the help of the Atkins 2 net carb bars from Winco and Albertson's. Thanks for the explanation!

Thanks for sharing!!

I'm no longer afraid to go to the Mexican restaurant...one of only 2 choices in my small town!! Thanks!

Thanks for all the great suggestions and advice! :wink:

Thank you for the great post. I am hoping to lose my obsession.

I *must* try this recipe!! Thanks for it!

Hi All I'm doing up to 20 carbs per day. Yesterday was my first day. I was out of control with carbs, kept gaining, trying to diet, failing, negative self-talk until yesterday. Today I feel less bloated and big than I have in a long long time. I'm aiming to follow Atkin's induction until I get down to my goal weight, then…
